Overview

  • Jessica Shepard recorded 22 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists on Tuesday, becoming the second WNBA player credited with three triple-doubles in a single season.
  • Dallas beat New York 88-77 to improve to 14-8 while the Liberty fell to 13-9, giving the Wings a clearer position in the midseason playoff race.
  • Dallas seized control with a 19-0 run in the second quarter that produced a 47-31 halftime lead and forced New York into cold shooting stretches.
  • New York played without Satou Sabally as she remained in concussion protocol and listed day-to-day, a roster absence that limited the Liberty’s depth and defensive options.
  • The nationally televised game shaped short-term seeding and award conversations, tempered Paige Bueckers’ streak from extending, and sends Dallas to Toronto next while New York heads to Minnesota.
